Guidance

Schools provide a range of support services to give students the knowledge and skills they need to be effective learners and contributing members of the school community. School counselors work in collaboration with the entire school community and are committed to the education and emotional development of all students. Services provided by counselors address the interrelated areas of academic, post-secondary, and personal-social development.

• Academic Planning: ensuring that students, families, and the entire school community are familiar with promotion and graduation standards, and that students pursue a rigorous instructional program aligned to their academic needs
• Post-Secondary Planning: ensuring that students and families are aware of the range of secondary and post-secondary schools and programs available, and have the opportunity to plan for and make informed choices regarding their secondary and post-secondary pathways
• Personal-Social Development: ensuring that all students have the opportunity to develop their social-emotional competencies, make positive contributions to the school and surrounding community, and become equipped with the knowledge and skills needed to support a healthy and productive future
